Freelance Writing Jobs Listing May 31 2011

Morning Freelancers -

A 4 day week for most of us, but that simply means more to cram in the shorter working week. Freelance writers are like many other self-employed in this respect – short on time and wouldn’t know a day off if it hit them!

The freelance writing job listings are pretty spartan today – I think everyone is wishing they had an extra day off this week.

Good luck,

Seeking Intelligent, Objective Writer (Comp: Per page or by the project) (Seattle)

Date: 2011-05-30, 11:59AM PDT Reply to: gigs-tdfh8-2411019300@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to freelance writing job ads?] This is an interesting and potentially well paid writing assignment. The material is compiled, the project has acquired at least editorial and scientific collaborators. All illustrations and charts are finished, the basic organization is there. I just need more organization, some clarity, and more copy. The topic is sexy, kind of a synthesis of sensual arousal, holistic health, and enlightened awareness. This is not apparent at first and the person who is hired for this position will spend quite a bit of time with me to “get it”. I like to drink fine red wine, sit in the hot tub or in front of a fireplace in a candle lit room, and discover and discuss the secrets of the universe. The same secrets that have been hidden from human understanding since the dawn of civilization. And they can be discovered (and written down) with the right combination of people. We are all waking up to a new paradigm, one that is defined by quantum physics and current neuroscience and NOT by outdated classical physics or vague and foreign words and phrases, like from the ancient Hindu, the Chinese, or even the archaic Christian jargon. This new understanding must be written down and I think too damn fast to write. I have the outline, and plenty of copy, I just need help to get it together and to a publisher. I have been working on this for many, many years. Now it is time to get it into the hands of those who are searching and beginning to see the glow of insight and deeper awareness. I am serious and easy to talk to (and listen to), but you gotta be a good writer. Have you ever read Heinlein? Some of the chapter headings: Riding the Avalanche – The 12 Human Senses Belief is Everything and Nothing Red Pill or Blue Pill? The Wrong Side of the Kazoo This position is open to a sexy, intelligent person male or female, the less gender specific, as far as sensual expression, the better.
